Michigan has a few cities with some decent skylines. I think they're all beautiful in their own way, and I'm asking the VT community to share their favorite. Vote in the poll, leave a comment, or post a picture.

PS, I left Downtown Detroit out of the poll, just to avoid bias, because it dominates all the other skylines here.


Troy


Southfield


Dearborn


Mount Clemens


Grand Rapids


Pontiac


Flint

Please let me know if I forgot any skylines!

Grand Rapids is a close second to Detroit in my opinion.

In this choice GR then Flint (gritty in a good way) and Southfield. By the way I aways thought Jackson had a decent skyline for a smaller city. It's not much but I think Marquette has a slight prettiness to her. Here are a few pics.

I voted for Southfield. It might not have the number of buildings Grand Rapids has but I've always liked the Town Center buildings with the windows that look golden when the sun shines on them. It's more of a quality of quantity thing I guess.
